The D.C. reggae rockers recorded “Beauty In The Acoustic” while performing a full length Sugarshack Sessions set, and the resulting album showcases SOJA’s songwriting excellence. And I’m not just speaking within the reggae scene - I truly believe SOJA’s latest music is amongst the best songwriting in all of music today!

Song of the Week is back with a super fun, doo-wop inspired reggae song by SOJA featuring HIRIE. The easy listening track is perfect to loop on repeat, with smooth horns and Trevor Young and Jacob Hemphill trading vocals throughout. Read more to stream the track!

SOJA’s cover of Fall Out Boy’s “Sugar, We’re Goin Down” has us so excited to jam along with the upcoming release of “Pop Punk Goes Reggae”. The release is the rad passion project of Iya Terra’s Nathan Aurora, who has since released the equally awesome cover of My Chemical Romance’s “Helena”.

Now, I am admittedly biased because Wolf Trap is my hometown venue and SOJA is my hometown band, but this Saturday’s show at Wolf Trap is set to be an all time classic. Their first show back in over 4 years, SOJA is bringing Protoje, Jesse Royal, and a special appearance by J Boog to celebrate. Oh and did I mention the venue sits inside a national park….

Song of the Week: Cali Roots Riddim’s Press Remix with SOJA and Collie Buddz Produced by Collie Buddz and J-Vibe for Ineffable Music, Cali Roots Riddim returns for its third release just in time for this weekend’s Cali Roots Fest. The track “Press Remix” is a fun take on a previous SOJA song “Press Rewind” and features SOJA’s own Jacob Hemphill, Bobby Lee and Trevor Young on vocals.

The time was around 11:15 a.m. on a beautiful Friday morning and the streets of downtown Long Beach were buzzing with out-of-towners and locals alike, all headed to the Marina Green Park for the love of reggae music. As the gates opened…

“Mid-Atlantic Dub” is the jamming new Bumpin Uglies album and I’d have to say it’s my favorite album from the band yet! It takes years for a band to find its sound and perfect it, and “Mid-Atlantic Dub” highlights Bump Uglies grooving sweet spot blending reggae, rock, and pop music.

It’s hard to know where to begin when it comes to writing about Mihali, because his talent is so great. In his latest album “Effection”, released by Ineffable Records, Mihali’s artistry, mastery of songwriting and soulfulness are on full display.

Warm congratulations to SOJA who took home the Best Reggae Album Grammy Award last night for the band’s incredible album, Beauty In The Silence. SOJA’s impact on the reggae music genre is huge, and the band continues to create beautiful music. Beauty In The Silence is an outstanding album, and if you haven’t listened to it from start to finish, we recommend you do it soon!

We are absolutely loving the Bumpin Uglies new single, Slow Burn, featuring SOJA’s Jacob Hemphill. The song released by Ineffable Records and produced by Johnny Cosmic highlights a beautiful message and has such a cool reggae-rock sound.

Dailyreggae.com spoke with SOJA’s Jacob Hemphill about SOJA’s rise to stardom, the inspiration behind the band’s Grammy-nominated album, Beauty In The Silence, and his songwriting process.

What sets reggae apart from other musical genres is its deep sense of community embodied by both fans and artists alike. Instead of being fueled by competition, the extended reggae family wants to see one another succeed and become their best selves. Attend a reggae concert and you will find smiling faces and open arms from fellow fans. As a reggae artist one is more likely to find success by helping and collaborating with other artists than trying to outdo them. This methodology of positivity and collaboration is what brought renowned American reggae band SOJA together, and is entirely evident in their new album "Beauty In The Silence".

We have been huge fans of SOJA for many years and whenever the band, stemming from Washington D.C., releases new music we jump at the chance to listen and take it all in. SOJA has been releasing new music all summer leading up to the band’s new album, Beauty In The Silence, which will be released September 24th via ATO Records. The band’s latest single, Reason To Live, is a beautiful song featuring Dirty Heads and Nanpa Básico with an important message about open-hearted perseverance.
